nmtrapd

NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The nmtrapd trap daemon listens on the snmp-trap port
(usually port 162/udp) for incoming SNMP trap or inform
messages and forwards them to all connected clients (like
scotty). The optional port argument allows to
use the nmtrapd daemon to forward messages received on a non
standard SNMP trap port. Port numbers below 1024 will be
rejected with the exception of the snmp-trap port
162/udp.

The nmtrapd daemon must be installed setuid root
since UNIX systems require root permissions to open the
standard SNMP trap port 162/udp. The nmtrapd daemon
rejects all port numbers below 1024 with the
exception of port 162/udp in order to protect the system
security.
